Waveplates, also called Retardation plates or Retarders, change the state of polarization of a light beam passing through it. The waveplate resolves an incoming beam oflight into two orthogonally
polarized components while retarding the phase of
one of the components relative to the other. Zero Order Waveplates are constructed oftwo Crystal Quartz plates that are oriented so that the optical axes are orthogonal. Our standard Waveplates are
air spaced. Cemented and contacted versions are also available. Zero order Waveplates are far less sensitive to temperature changes. True Zero Order
Waveplates are available as small as 0.5mm in diameter and as thin as 90 microns.
Tower Optical standard Waveplates are Laser Quality Crystal Quartz which are AR coated. Several wavelengths are available with Broad Band Coatings (asterisked on chart). Other wavelengths and custom dimensions are available on a special order
basis.
Standard Waveplates are supplied mounted in Z" (8mm clear aperture, CA) or 1" (15mm CA)
anodized Aluminum housings. These waveplates
may also be ordered unmounted. In addition,
25.4mm (22mm CA) waveplates are supplied unmounted or mounted in a 30mm mounting ring.
Tower Optical has thousands of waveplates in stock for immediate delivery. Custom Waveplates, for specific requirements, are routinely manufactured. Specify dimensions, shape, wavelength, retardation and coating.
